HILLS INCONSISTENCY.

Governor Hill seems to care not so much as
penny whistle for consistency. He recalls
the philosopher who remarked that it was
the vice Of fools. Tho Senate not being in
session to checkmate his dark ways, he has
nst appointed Jim Mcintyre TO be State
Agent for Discharged Convicts. The duties
Of this official are 10 promote the moral well
fare Of discharged convicts, for which service
the State allows him 81 500. upon the under
standing that $4,000 Of it is to 60 to the con-
victs. The rest is his salary. In his last
annual message the Governor inveighcd
heartily against the continuance of any such
official. He said that he was useless and tina.
the law under which he was appointed merely
compelled the State to spend $500 in order

Mr.. Powderly appears TO be ga little OFF,
in his structures upon things in general.
Starting out with the remarkable statement " ii
is openly charged that q majority OF the
United States Senate owe their cleo ton to
railroad or National b nix influence and argu-
ing that unless the United States Senator'S
prosecute the makers Of this charge the latter
must be considered proved, he deduccs from
these amazing considerations the conclusion
that the country stands in need Of new kind
Of Government If he confined himself TO the
position that the country needs new Admin
istration the court would be with him, but he
appears TO have lost faith in the American
system because of the rumors which he treats
So much beyond their merits. Who Is It,
Mr. Powdcrly, that openly charges any such
preposterous nonsense concerning the United
States Senate? And, for the matter of that,
when has there been period free from idlouc
or mac ious charges Of every conceivable
kind directed against anybody and every
body? When George Washington was PrcSi-
dent he was the target for unmcasurcd abuse
He was charged with want OF patriotism even.
with dishonesty, with duplicity But tho
strong common sense Of the American people
was then as now proof against all such stink
pot accusations, and Mr.. Powdcrly as a poiti-
clan ought TO know better than to
attach any importance 10 them.
Beyond this, however, he wants some pater-
nal Government lie thinks tho Federal
Government ought to be able to prevent
stock gambling wheat corners and the ike.
If ever the Republic of the future drawn
by Mrs. Anna Bowman Dodd Is established,
Mr.. Powdcrly's wishes may be realized but in
that case all individuality will have been
crushed out of the people, and they will have
been moulded by machinery into mass OF
aimcss automata, destitute of ambition, in
vcntion, energy and capacity for progress.
Patemasm of kind capable Of controlling
and preventing speculation would necessarily
be despotism more absolute. inquisitorial and
comprehensive than the world has ever seen
save during the cphemeral existence Of the
French "TcrrOr' In short, Mr.. Powdery's
remedy would be so much worse than the dis
case that tho occurrence OF Black Friday
once a month all the year round would really
be less disastrous to the future Of the Nation
than the adoption of his ideas.

PLAYED OFT

Long ago in that dim and misty past when
many Republicans hoped and many Democrats
feared that the Presidents Civil Service pro
LESSONS had the one merit Of sincerity, it was
the custom Of his Mugwump sponsors to greet
every fresh indication that the President was,
after all, reformer for revenue only with the
dreadful threat that if he did not bring forth
fruit meet forrcpentance before a 7ciy great
while they should be reduced TO the necessity
of declaring that he was no better than he
should be- 1t was always remarked that they
never set definite limit to the period Of pro-
baton thus mercifully granted. Like the
frontier maiden whom too importunatc lover
urged in vain TO name the day, and who
finally excused herself on the ground that she
had been brought up not to monkey with
the calendar" they realized that it is often
very inconvenient to have date staring one
in the face. With every new cbulition OF
Higg.ns's internal activity they informed the
President that they could not allow that sort
of thing to go on much longer. 1t was really
too bad and If he didn't fOieswear Higgins at
some indefinite time in the future there was
no telling what would happen. They never
named the day.
not the slightest effect upon Mr.. Cleveland,
for the simple reason that Higgins et al
always enjoyed his confidential approval and
support, the flock OF idolaters grew gradually
tired of beating against head wind, and one
after another futtered down TO the ground
Occasionally a melancholy peep is heard, but
for the most part protests have ceased 1.-The
Evening Post was so delighted with the work
Of the Pennsylv mia Democratic Convention
that until yesterday it hadn't q word TO say
about the fifty or more Federal ollicc-holders
who did it, and even then it
didn't venture to ''name the day. = The
Springfield Republican gives the convention
a jubilant note of praise. "The New-Yor<
Times alludes to the cynical contempt with
which the Presidents order was disregarded,
but no longer thinks it worth while TO express
even so much as a faint hope that Mr. Cleve-
land will resent it, What pitiful farce the
Mugwump press has been playing How
long it was and how tedious No wonder
that the little audience has gone home. Put
out the lights

THE BOSTON,S TRIAL TRIP.

Secretary Whitney is gradually finding out
that the Roach cruisers are good ships. The
mean horsepower developed by the Boston
in the first trial trip is approximately esd-
mated at 5000, or 400 mole than the contract
reouired. The maximum is nearly 1000.
No attempt was made TO obtain maximum
speed. as the object of the trial was to
test the working power of the engines. As
there was steady run Of fourteen and a hall
knots. with fifteen and half knots at times,
it may safely be assumed that the ship VIII
average fifteen knots and under the most
favorable conditions make sixteen knots The
Secretary has always laid great stress upon
horsepower, having condemned the Dolphin
for a deficiency of sixty units, although the
vessel exceeded the required speed and was
struc turally strong. He was not wholly saas-
fed with the Atlanta, since, while uncxpect-
cdly fast, she did not develop every unit OF
horsepower contracted for. The Boston ap-
parenty will be acceptable in all respects,
since the horsepower is long way in excess
of the requirements. The designers did notl
promise a greater speed than fourteen knots.
The ship will do much better than that. If the
horsepower runs up 10 $500 or 1000.
This is a surprise which the Navy Depart
ment has not expected. Excess Of horse
power has been carefully provided for in the
second series of cruisers, but it was not an
tcipatcd in the Boston. When the contract
was made for the Baltimore the horsepower
was scaled down to 5000, although the Eng
lish plans called for TO- $50. Indeed, the ship
will not be rejected unless the horsepower
falls below 5000. The same Secretary who
considered mcagrc deficiency of sixty fatal
10 the case of the Dolphin, allowed his own
contractor a margin of 1850 in the Baltimore.
If the engines which were designed TO develop
1O,75O exceed 5000, the Secretary will prob
ably be overwhelmed with feelings of salts
faction. At the same time, the contractor
will receive large premiums for that artificial
surplus There is, no hocus pocus Of this
kind in the Boston's large excess of horse
power 1t is clear, honest gain over the de-
signed horsepower
